Chapter 390: As Good-looking As You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

No matter how stupid Lin Yue was, after following Sheng Huaixuan for so many years, his knowledge of business was enough for him.

He had given all his previous assets to Qingfeng. If he wanted to open a book printing bureau, the cost of a printing machine was very high. He had to buy a store, hire someone, and pay for the author’s manuscripts. He needed a lot of starting capital.

Lin Yue could not bring himself to ask Qingfeng for money, but if had to borrow money from Sheng Huaixuan, he felt that he owed his master too much.

Just as he was worried about where to get money, Bai Wutong established a bank and provided a loan business.

Lin Yue’s eyes immediately lit up. The so-called books were the spiritual food of humans. Lin Yue believed that his idea of building a printing bureau would definitely be recognized by the bank and he could borrow enough money.

For this, Lin Yue specially went to the bank to ask for the application form. He spent the entire night racking his brains to fill it.

As the first person who wanted to build a printing store and was determined to promote all kinds of books (novels), he successfully borrowed a sum of money from the bank.

…..

Although it was only 500 taels and not as much as Lin Yue had imagined, the prospects of the printing store was bright. Many people would definitely come to the bank to invest in the printing store.

The more people investing, the more funds they would receive.

Lin Yue found acquaintances to invest in him. Yang Quanzi, Xu Zhiyi, Cui Shize, Cui Shiji, Cui Lingyi, Cui Muzhi… He approached them all.

Everyone was surprised that Lin Yue was going to build a printing store. When they heard his exaggerated claim that he wanted to sell the various books they had written all over the world, everyone just smiled and invested in him.

Lin Yue was used to seeing big money. It was his first time starting a business and he was bold. He still felt that it was not enough to raise a few thousand taels of silver.

After all, every book had to be carved by someone before it could be printed in batches. If the books sold badly and the capital income chain was broken, the printing bureau might not succeed.

Just as Lin Yue was searching for someone who could still invest, the bank sent someone to inform him that someone had invested 50,000 taels in one go.

Lin Yue’s eyes widened. “Why so much? Who invested?”

The bank kept the information of the investor confidential. No matter how hard Lin Yue tried to find out, no one told him.

He guessed that Sheng Huaixuan had invested in it and made up his mind to do it well.

He turned around and looked for Huang Zhong to urge him. “How is the Great Empress Legend book coming along? Don’t tell me that you haven’t written the ending after I’ve finished carving it.”

The protagonist of the book that Huang Zhong had written about the Great Empress becoming a goddess was Bai Wutong. He had visited many people and written the beginning. Lin Yue felt that it was very interesting, so he had come every day to urge him. This was also the reason why he had the idea to set up a book printing bureau and publish novels.

Huang Zhong frowned and said, “I can’t finish it. I plan to write for a long time.”

He felt that just one book would definitely not be enough to record Bai Wutong’s deeds. It would take at least ten books.

Lin Yue also wanted him to write longer. After all, this story was so good and there was still him in it! So he said, “Alright, write as much as you can. When the time comes, you can end the first book at the critical climax and the second book will definitely be even more popular.”

Huang Zhong was a little unconfident. “Will it work?”

Compared to the books written by others, his was only an unworthy novel.

Lin Yue encouraged, “Of course it can. This is the best book I’ve ever read! If you write well, your future will definitely be extraordinary!”

With Bai Wutong as the protagonist of the story, and the novel containing all kinds of fascinating new information, how could it not be popular?

Lin Yue believed that anyone who could read would like it.

Huang Zhong smiled shyly. “I’ll work hard!”

Lin Yue patted his shoulder and happily went to look for Qingfeng.

He had done all this behind Qingfeng’s back. Now that he had an investment and a bright future ahead of him, Lin Yue could not wait to give her a surprise.

He rushed forward and picked up Qingfeng, who happened to be changing shifts, and spun her around. There was a sour smell in the air, and the dark guards couldn’t help but look at them.

Qingfeng glanced at the dark guards, who immediately retracted their gazes and guarded Bai Wutong’s tent solemnly.

Lin Yue chuckled foolishly. “I’ve done something big recently!”

Qingfeng asked cooperatively, “What is it?”

Lin Yue immediately shook it out happily. “1 built a book printing bureau. Our child can read as many books as he wants in the future!”

With that, Lin Yue stole an unnatural glance at Qingfeng. They were not married yet. Would he scare Qingfeng if they talked about this now?

He was conflicted about whether Qingfeng wanted to have children.

Just as Lin Yue was feeling uneasy, Qingfeng suddenly smiled and nodded gently. “Okay.”

Lin Yue was overjoyed that Qingfeng was willing to give birth to his child. He picked her up and spun her around twice. When she was unprepared, he even stole a kiss.

Qingfeng’s eyes flickered. She pulled him into the tent and suddenly grabbed the back of his head.

Lin Yue closed his eyes, and his heart rate increased. It was as if he was in heaven.

Lin Yue skipped back happily. Coincidentally, Sheng Huaixuan was looking for him for something. When he saw his infatuated expression, he knew that he had just gone to look for Qingfeng.

He couldn’t help but sigh. If Lin Yue got married any later, he would become a fool.

When Lin Yue saw Sheng Huaixuan, he hurriedly thanked him. “Master! As expected of my master! You gave me 50,000 taels of silver in one go! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely earn it back ten times for you.”

Sheng Huaixuan had been so busy recently that he did not understand what Lin Yue was saying.

He frowned in confusion. “Huh???”

Seeing his confused expression, Lin Yue immediately widened his eyes. If it wasn’t Sheng Huaixuan, who had invested 50,000 taels of silver in him?

There was no so-called copyright awareness in this world. Lin Yue was certain that the book printing bureau could earn money because of the printing technique that could greatly reduce the cost of publishing books.

However, there was also a huge risk. After all, there were less than 200,000 people in the southern frontier and the illiteracy rate was extremely high. If he sold the books out of southern frontier, not only was the journey long, but the cost was also much higher.

If the return of 50,000 taels of silver was far inferior to the interest on the bank deposit, this person would suffer a huge loss.

Bai Wutong was even busier than Sheng Huaixuan, let alone pay attention to his matters.

Then there was only one person left who could spend 50,000 taels of silver to invest in him—Qingfeng!

Qingfeng had been paying attention to him silently and had even invested all the betrothal gifts. Lin Yue’s emotions surged. Before Sheng Huaixuan could ask what 50,000 taels of silver it was about, he rushed out on his fiery footsteps.

Qingfeng had just washed up and changed her clothes to lie down when Lin Yue’s excited voice came from outside the tent.

“Are we going to see the stars? The stars are especially beautiful tonight!”

There was no movement in the tent. Lin Yue was about to shout again when Qingfeng had already changed into light female clothes and lifted the curtain.

Lin Yue grabbed her hand happily. Before Qingfeng could speak, he carried her on his back and ran all the way to the grass where the wind was blowing gently. He pointed at the stars in the sky and said, “It’s as beautiful as you!”

Qingfeng’s cold eyes shone under the moonlight. The moment Lin Yue turned his head, she gently kissed him in response.

Lin Yue’s heart was pounding. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

In the next second, a long wolf howl broke the ambiguous atmosphere again..
